Chapter 111 Return to Beijing
"Zhao Yue?" Chen Shuwei frowned slightly, "Is he still alive after falling off the cliff?"
Zhao Yun opened his eyes, looked at her and chuckled, "Miss, haven't you heard that disasters can last for a thousand years?"
It is not so easy for Zhao Yue to die, and he is reluctant to die.
Shen Shuwei pulled the corner of his lips and gave him a cold smile, "I thought this was describing you."
Zhao Yun was startled at first, then chuckled, raised his head, and rested his head on Shen Shuwei's knees, "I just thought that the young lady was wishing me a long life."
Shen Shuwei didn't expect that he would still put his head on his knees. He cursed him as "shameless" and reached out to hold his shoulders to push him away.
It was at this time that Chengfeng climbed in through the window.
He squatted on the windowsill, looking at the two people sitting on the couch and snuggling together, with an extremely wonderful expression on his face. For a moment, he didn't know whether to go out or come in.
Chen Shuwei also saw Chengfeng and looked at him calmly, "Come in."
Cheng Feng immediately came in with his brows lowered and stood in front of Shen Shuwei. He carefully glanced at Zhao Yun, who was slapped away by Shen Shuwei, and quickly retracted his gaze, "Prince."
Zhao Yun glanced at him and asked, "Are you here alone?"
Chengfeng shook his head quickly and was about to say that Xunxiao also came together, but as soon as the word "Xun" came out of his mouth, he caught a glimpse of Chen Shuwei's expression and chewed it again, swallowing the two words "Xunxiao" back into his stomach.
When Chen Shuwei heard the word "search", there was nothing he didn't understand. He glanced at Zhao Yun with a half-smile, then looked at Chengfeng, "Since you're here, why are you hiding? Just let them in."
Xun Xiao, who had been waiting outside, followed him in through the window, glanced at Chen Shuwei silently, and then lowered his eyes like Cheng Feng and remained silent.
Chen Shuwei guessed that there should be more than just these two people coming, but there were only the two of them in public.
Seeing that both of them seemed to be hesitant to speak, Shen Shuwei stood up and pushed the door open, leaving the space for the three of them.
Xun Xiao's first words were: "Master Yue is alright."
Zhao Yun half-closed his eyes and said nothing. Cheng Feng continued, "Princess Lin Zhao and the Crown Prince and Princess have returned from the northern border and will be arriving in Beijing soon."
Speaking of Princess Linzhao, she was truly a legend back then. Her husband was a student of the old general who defended the country. He came from a prominent family in the north and entered the court through a military examination. Later, he and Princess Linzhao went to the northern border together, defeated the barbarians, and returned to the court.
If it weren't for the incident that happened seventeen years ago and the death of her husband, Princess Linzhao would not have completely given up on Luojing and taken her newborn prince to the northern border, where she stayed for sixteen years.
Zhao Yun reacted, but only glanced at Chengfeng lightly.
Although Beijiang and Liangzhou are adjacent to each other, the two sides do not interfere with each other, and he and Princess Linzhao are not close.
Chengfeng was a little anxious. He looked around and then moved closer to Zhao Yun, saying in a low voice, "Prince, have you forgotten Princess Anyang, the daughter of Princess Linzhao?"
Princess Anyang was not the biological daughter of Princess Linzhao and her husband, but the child of one of her husband's subordinates. After the subordinate's entire family was killed in battle, Princess Linzhao adopted her for some reason.
This Princess Anyang has the support of her brother, the current crown prince, and her adoptive mother, Princess Linzhao, who is famous in the northern border. She has been raised with a spoiled temperament since childhood. Three years ago, she happened to pass through Liangzhou and fell in love with Zhao Yun at first sight, declaring that she would not marry anyone else.
Chengfeng always felt that Princess Anyang came to the capital to force a marriage.
"Who is it?" Zhao Yun said.
Chengfeng's eyelids twitched. It seems that you have no memory of the fact that Princess Anyang committed suicide by jumping into the river and then hanging herself to marry you.
Xun Xiao listened to Cheng Feng's talk about Princess Anyang, his brows knitted slightly. "Your Highness, please return to the capital first. Young Master Yue is safe, and the Crown Prince is on his side. Meanwhile, Crown Prince Jiang, son of Princess Lin Zhao, is entering the capital with hundreds of thousands of troops from the northern border."
Zhao Yun leaned against the soft pillow, looked up at him, a faint smile on his lips, "What? Are you afraid that Zhao Yue will win over Jiang Heng?"
Xun Xiao lowered his head and dared not speak.
Zhao Yun coughed a few times, his eyes showing fatigue. "Forget it, it's time to go back. If I don't go back, the young lady will hate me to death."
Chengfeng hurried forward to help Zhao Yun up, but just as his hand touched Zhao Yun's wrist, his pupils trembled and he cried out, "Prince, where is your internal energy!"
Damn it, what was that smeared on the arrow by that dog assassin arranged by Zhao Yue? This arrow scattered the light inside their prince.
Xun Xiao heard Cheng Feng's scream and looked over, unable to hide his surprise.
Zhao Yun stood up with a normal expression and let Xun Xiao help him get dressed. He closed his eyes and said nothing.
Chengfeng circled around Zhao Yun as if he was provoked. Zhao Yun raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile, "If you make any more noise, I'll pull out your tongue."
Chengfeng became obedient.
Chen Shuwei's prediction turned out to be correct. Chengfeng and Xunxiao were not the only ones who came to pick up Zhao Yun. As soon as the two of them changed Zhao Yun into new clothes, a number of gray-robed secret guards appeared outside and drove a carriage over.
This scene frightened the villagers of Qingshi Village, and they gathered at the door of Aunt Yan's house, staring in amazement.
I hope this isn't some high-ranking official from the capital. Qingshi Village is truly blessed to have met such a person.
Zhao Yun was injured internally and Chengfeng had drained his internal strength away. He was even carried into the carriage on a sedan chair. Chengfeng followed him and gave him advice with the same earnest advice as the chief eunuch.
"Be careful, don't let the wind blow the prince away."
"Hold it steady, don't let the prince fall."
In just a few steps, Chengfeng managed to create the appearance of the old emperor's holy tour.
Shen Shuwei stood by and watched with an expressionless face.
Xun Xiao quietly walked up to Shen Shuwei and respectfully gestured for her to get in the carriage. "Miss Shen, please get in the carriage."
Shen Shuwei glanced at him, said nothing, and walked towards the carriage.
"Miss Shen, let me help you." Chengfeng came over with a flattering look on his face.
Shen Shuwei shook his head and stepped onto the stool to go up.
Shen Shuwei was worried about the situation in Beijing, wondering how Shen Zhiyang was doing with the things he had asked him to do before leaving.
He drove the carriage steadily and quickly, and returned to the Shen Mansion in the afternoon.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Shen Shuwei happened to run into Shen Zhiyang who was leaving the house.
When Shen Zhiyang saw Shen Shuwei, his mouth opened wide instantly. Without waiting for Shen Shuwei to come over, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Second brother! Second brother and third sister are back!"
Soon, Shen Shuwei saw Shen Zhang coming out of the mansion like a gust of wind.
In just two and a half days, Shen Zhang looked much more haggard. First, his eldest brother was implicated in a cheating case in the imperial examination, and then his third sister disappeared unexpectedly.
Chen Zhang used to be a person who valued face and integrity the most. In the past two days, he asked everyone he could for help.
Seeing the two siblings in front of him with red eyes, Shen Shuwei sighed helplessly and said with a smile: "Second brother, Ayang, if you have anything to say, go inside and talk."
Shen Zhang pursed his lips, knowing that this was not a good place to talk, so he and Shen Zhiyang followed her back to her yard.
